The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in level wet pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.4m) with external fosse (Wth 4.1; D 0.6m). There is a slight trace of either an external bank or a counterscarp bank NNE- SSW visible as a band (Wth 3m) of lighter coloured grass. A modern field boundary bank of earth and stone, topped with a wire fence, lies along the line of the possible external bank SSW-NNE. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank, with a causeway across the fosse, marks the position of the original entrance.
